Hongkoweenathon

IMG_2065.JPG

My sister had the chance to visit the Hongk just in time for Halloween. Yeehaw!

My previous two Halloweens in the Castro and WeHo were preparing me for this night. We put a lot of thought into our costumes but really came up with nothing. We put fate into the hands of Pottinger St, the place to buy costumes, and the selection really had left much to be desired. We ended up as Batgirl and Supergirl.

On this Friday night, my aunt, uncle and cousin randomly showed up and we met them for dinner. I was a bit frustrated but everything ended up working out ok. After dinner, we ran home to get suited up and headed to Powers'.

That's us as International Crimefighters... with a traditional Vietnamese hat and Sombrero!

We showed up right on time for the pre-party madness. Me and Cang the Geisha.

Oh dear. And there's our gracious host with his blow-up doll Tanya costume.

Joining the team of international crime fighters is the Thai Policeman.

When we had polished off the bottle of tequila, it was time to hit the streets.

The blow up doll is likely to have sent some youngsters to therapy.

Wyndham St, above LKF. We did not even make it to ground zero.

But I did find a friend.

And more friends.

And this one, which the photographer commented: That was SO counter-productive.

Also ran into the Star Wars crew at Yumla.

And on the way home, ran into the queue for LKF, which was practically to my front door!
